Corey Brock reports that the Padres have designated 37-year-old Cody Ransom for assignment. In 11 trips to the plate, Ransom went hitless with five strikeouts.
Ransom had never logged more than 87 plate appearances in a single season at the Major League level until last year, when he hit .220 with a .722 OPS in 282 PA with the Diamondbacks and Brewers.
In a corresponding move, the Padres have recalled Thad Weber from Triple-A Tuscon.
